Everything Comes Alive (When Contradictions Accumulate) is a trans-disciplinary improvisation and performance workshop focusing on connecting our primal animal intuitions to our contemporary human lives. Abandon domestication, invert habitual hierarchies and reclaim a basic wildness in which instinct acts as a liberating force. Evolve through presence, perception, play and performance practices. Unpack the fear reflex and gain courage to be fully seen. Learn more about what makes your skin opaque, and allows it to be transparent AKA what reveals the exquisite intricacy of your anatomy. Explore the paradox that artifice (exaggeration, distortion) gives access to extraordinary forms of realness. Practice self-surprise, and full-bodied beginner’s mind. Expect internal work, radical embodied honesty, consensual touch, sharing, vocalisation, a maximalist textile score, rhythm work.
